The Doomsday Warrior series was a post-apocalyptic men's adventure series that ran for nineteen volumes from 1984 - 1991. The first four books were collaborations between Jan Stacy and Ryder Syvertsen (hence the pseudonym), and the other fifteen were written by Syverstsen alone. The series is set a hundred years in the future, after Russia has defeated the US and now occupies it. Ted Rockson is the leader of a secret loose resistance consortium. This tenth volume does not follow the formulaic pattern which ruled the series. Ted is walking home from Utah after having destroyed the nuclear weapon at the end of the previous book when he's captured by nasty commies. He's tortured, invited to play chess for his freedom, and he wins but you must remember that you can't trust any of the commies in 1980's Zebra series. He's tied to a jeep, caught in a nuclear storm of weird, and transported into an alternate version of the previous century a week before the Soviet attack. He meets his old girlfriend, Kim, (the first daughter) and they have kids and there's sex and violence and he has to fight the evil Chessman and there's a psychedelic scene like the end of the Kubrick's 2001 film and he ends up right where he started walking across the desert. Was it all a dream? Did we jump on sharks, or just take a bypass in the series? Ready for volume eleven... It's a very patriotic series, typical for the Zebra men's adventure line in the '80s, with non-stop action, cartoon plots, and very conservative political views. It was a fun series if you didn't expect too much. It's like sweet and salty snack food with no nutrition that you can't help but keep munching just because it's there. This one was more far-out fun than most of them.

While escaping from the Soviets in the desert of Salt Lake City, The Doomsday Warrior is transported to an alternate time, Salt Lake City 1989 by a time tornado. There he battles mind control and The Chessman who rules the city with an iron fist. A nice change of pace from this series.

Average apocalyptic adventure story. Russian has taken over America after WWIII. Recommended
